A DISGRUNTLED resident plastered a number of angry notices across his blue Jaguar car after he claims drunken students thought it would be funny to jump up and down on his vehicle.

The Frederick Street resident, who has not been named, plastered notes on his car after the windscreen was smashed on Thursday, October 16.

The notices read: “This damage was caused by students who think it’s funny to jump on resident’s cars. Why should we tolerate these actions?” and “This damage was caused by students who think it is funny to jump on residents’ cars.”

The incident was discussed at a Storer and Ashby Road Resident’s Group (SARG) meeting on Tuesday, October 21.

Police told the Echo it was reported at 10.29pm but that the victim has decided not to proceed with the complaint after the culprit was identified and paid for the damage caused.

Concerns about student anti-social behaviour was also voiced by Pam Ede-Cooper who created a log of incidents on behalf of residents during Freshers from September 22 to October 8.

She said that in total there were 50 incidents – four positive, nine tolerated and 37 reported disturbances.

They included more than 60 students shouting or chanting while being escorted by wardens, more than 100 students chanting ‘alcohol’ in Ashby Road and house parties in Storer Road where police were called.

Mrs Ede-Cooper said: “This is from eight or nine residents – they are not having a nice life. Why is the university teaching them to chant? You are teaching them to chant and then expect them not to when they go through residential areas on their way home. It sends out the wrong message.”

The only representative from the university at the meeting was Ally McDonald, community warden, who said a positive initiative had been launched – a community campaign to know your neighbour with the distribution of 5,000 tea bags.
